I'm guessing your Vivosun is just fine. My EC pen from 2011 or was it 2014 that I got off ebay is still going strong
I wonder if GH builds in for tap water with their PPM estimates or something, because I always come up low on PPM's / EC when I add every single thing they say exactly.....By quite a lot...Like 20-25%.

The other possibility is I got some bogus watered down nutrient from somewhere (Amazon).

We shall know tomorrow.

Now, for a meatball sub. Just gotta go get it, lol.

No they don't factor in for hard water. I wouldn't worry about hitting their EC. Just go for the 25% under. I usually start about 1/2 under.

OK here's strangeness in coco - ville.

The short....I have runoff at 1.6 EC when the nutes going in are only about 0.8 EC. The EC going in was higher last week, so maybe these were stored nutes?


These are the 2 extra plants alone in the closet that look great, and have been getting hand watered, a little runoff but not 20% for certain!! I gave them a good drink tonight and checked the runoff for the first time, juts out of curiosity, and was shocked.

Or maybe it's salts that got flushed?? Are they high in EC? They must be!
